Having read about Scheel keels for years, and not knowing diddly about them, I found this picture to be helpful.

My own current "I'd sail that" cruising boat wishlist is an Aloha 32. On thing I really like about the boat is that most were built with storage up forward instead of a useless V-berth. This shows the layout, which makes incredible sense to me. I'd move the traveler down into the cockpit. There's a nice bridgedeck just waiting to have a good traveler mounted on it.
I'm somewhat less wild about the rudder, seems kind of exposed, though no worse than any keelboat I've sailed in the past.
